New Bern police are investigating a pair of break-ins near the downtown area.

Just before 10 p.m. Saturday, officers with New Bern Police Department responded to an alarm call from Armstrong’s Grocery on Broad Street.

Officers found that someone had thrown a cinderblock through a window of the store and entry was made. The manager of the store couldn’t tell if anything was taken.

A little more than an hour later, police responded to another alarm call, but this time it was at Country Biscuit, also on Broad Street. Upon arrival, officers found signs of a break-in through a window. It appeared that petty change was stolen.

Anyone with information on either break-in is asked to call the Criminal Investigation Section at 633-2022.
